Maintenance 

 

Proper maintenance of you Leak Detector is very important. Carefully following the 
instructions, outlined below, will reduce performance problems and increase the live 
expectancy of the unit. 
 

WARNING

: TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE REPLACING THE SENSING TIP. FAILURE TO DO 

SO MAY RESULT IN A MILD ELECTRICAL SHOCK! 
 
Keep the sensing tip clean: Prevent dust, moisture and grease build-up by utilizing the 
provided tip protector. Never use the unit without the protector in place. 
 
Before using the unit always inspect the tip and protector to see that they are free of 
dirt and/or grease. To clean: 

 

1.

 

Remove protector by grasping and pulling off tip. 

2.

 

Clean protector with shop towel and/or compressed air. 

3.

 

If the tip itself is dirty it can be cleaned by immersing in a mild solvent, such as 

alcohol, for a few seconds, and then using compressed air and/or a shop towel to clean. 

 

NOTE: Never use solvents such as gasoline, turpentine, mineral spirits, etc… as these will 
leave a detectable residue and desensitize your unit. 
 

 

Sensing tip replacement

  

The tip will eventually wear out and require replacement. It is difficult to predict exactly 
when this will occur since tip longevity is directly related to the conditions and frequency 
of use. The tip should be replaced whenever the alarm sounds or becomes erratic, in a 
clean, pure, air environment. 
 
To replace the tip: 
1.

 

Make sure the unit is OFF. 

2.

 

Remove the old tip by unscrewing counter-clockwise. 

3.

 

Use the supplied replacement tip, located in the carrying case. Replace by screwing on 

clockwise.
